“This isn’t working,” I sighed, running my hand through my hair, “She’ll die if we keep her here—you know it.”
Wedidknow it, but none of us wanted to admit that the way to heal Lavender was obvious, only it would mean we would lose her, possibly forever.
“They would never let her out, not without a pack, and we would never be allowed within a hundred feet of an omega.” Theo sighed, looking over at Lavender longingly.
“We vote,” I said. “I can’t make this decision for us. I say yes, she needs the Haven,”
“I say yes, but I fucking hate it,” Archer added.
“Yes,” Theo’s voice was empty, lost.
“Kane?” I asked.
“I can’t lose her,” Kane said. “So… yes.”
It was unanimous. We were going to take Lavender back home. To her home.
ChapterForty-Seven
Lavender
Asteady, rhythmic beeping disturbed me. I ached, and my body was so tired that even opening my eyes felt like a monumental chore. So I didn’t, opting to let myself drift into sweet oblivion once more.
The next time I woke, opening my eyes, while difficult, wasn’t impossible. Cracking my eyes open I took in the familiar sight of a hospital room. A luxury hospital room. I was laying on expensive, high thread count sheets on a hospital bed that felt like a cloud. The room didn’t smell like cleaner, or antiseptic, instead it smelled like freshly cut grass and sea air, so relaxing and calming.
I knew where I was.
I was at the Haven.
Looking around the room, my eyes fell on Donovan standing by my door. The guard who used to regularly guard the floor that I lived on was sitting on a chair in the corner of the room, watching the door. Guarding me. He looked exactly the same, his hair cropped short and his face clean shaven.
At the sound of me moving, his head whipped around to look at me, eyes widening. “You’re awake!” He smiled. “I’ll get the doctor, she’ll be so happy to see you’re awake, it’s good to have you home.”
He stuck his head out of the door, talking to someone in hushed tones that I couldn’t hear. A second later, a beautiful woman with red hair in a sleek bun and a white medical coat came into the room, smiling at the sight of me.
“Miss Lavender! How are you feeling?”
“Sore… how did I get here?” I asked, looking around the room again. Where were my alphas? I couldn’t detect their scents anywhere.
“A good Samaritan dropped you off at our gates, you had clearly been through hell. Do you know who took you?” she asked kindly as she tapped a few buttons on the medical monitor next to her.
“Uh…his name was Alec. He wanted an omega. He’s a policeman, or a detective, I don’t know,” I lied.
“Don’t worry, security has been tripled. How someone got into the walls of the Haven is beyond us, but we won’t allow it to happen again. There are three extra security guards per dormitory now, almost one guard to each omega.”
I cringed internally. We hardly had any freedom as it was living there. Having a guard on your ass at all times would easily get stifling.
“Fawn has been pacing the halls outside, by the way, she really wants to see you, but we told her she had to wait until you were up for visitors.”
“How am I… What happened?” I asked groggily. The pain meds I was on were potent and I was struggling to think straight.
“You had a nasty infection from a cut on your leg. Your throat was bruised pretty badly and you even burst a blood vessel in your eye. It also looks like you had a nasty shoulder dislocation. You really have been through the wars, haven’t you? I’m glad you’re safe now.”
“Yeah,” I nodded. “Can you let Fawn in?”
“Fawn went to get food, just moments ago—there is someone else here who would love to see you, if that’s okay.”
Assuming it was another omega friend, I nodded. The doctor walked out the room and a moment later Sage walked in. I hadn’t seen the pretty blonde beta-turned-omega since she had left to be with her pack several months ago.
